Also known as: Childhood Sweethearts Lose to the Girl Who Appears Out of Nowhere, and She Turns Dark
Jiang Zhimiao often dreams that she is locked in a pitch-black dungeon, the tendons in her hands severed and both legs crippled, like a caged bird with broken wings.
Then her family arranged a marriage for her with a suitable match, and her strange dreams disappeared.
On the eve of her wedding, rebels entered the city. The Jiang family tried to flee with the whole household, but failed and were forced to stay behind.
The nightmare of being a trapped beast swept over her again, winding around her like vines. Gradually, Jiang Zhimiao could no longer tell reality from her dreams.
In the dim dungeon, the man's expression was utterly grim. He said, word by word, "I hear today is your wedding day?"
The man before her was sinister and terrifying, nothing like the bright young man she remembered.
Jiang Zhimiao asked in surprise, "Have you been possessed?"
He paused, then gripped her chin. His dark eyes were filled with a terrifying possessiveness. "What do you think?"
He dressed her in a bright red wedding gown with his own hands, then made her kneel in the gloomy cell to complete the wedding rites.
Later, the suffocating, terrifying dream became reality.
The simplest way to escape a cage is to kill its owner.
Jiang Zhimiao let herself climb the steps to the high platform, becoming the one who held the reins of power, and straying ever further from the person she once was.
